My daughter in on Ship 11, div. 102. Anyone else in that same Div.???
Tags:
hahaha...!! Well, there is still mail coming today. Will keep my fingers & toes crossed.
Cuz if no mail, I would not want to be him when you see him next!!
We got a letter today from our SR. So glad to hear from him. He seems to be doing really good so we are very relieved. Hope everyone else receives a letter very soon!
So glad you rec'd letter. I just hope jormad gets one too before she catches pneumonia!!
He didn't say much about the division as a whole but he seemed to be doing well. Said the food was good. Said he wrote it after day 5 so must take a while to mail them out or they just released them.
Well, so sorry to hear this. The kids will never realize how we, as mothers are feeling or dealing with this. At least til they get kids of their own. But, Im sure he is fine. Maybe his letter got sent late, or he figured he would wait til he could talk to you.,Never know what goes thru boys heads??? I have 3. So, keep praying, and know that you will hear from him soon.
When my husband was in, He said they don't have a choice weather to write or not. they are told you will keep in contact with your family. Just what he told me. so some of you were saying your sons said they would not write. They just might not have a choice.
Hi! My daugher is also on Ship 11, Div. 102. I got letters this past Thursday. I was so excited to hear from her. She sounded great in the first letter but the second and third was very emotional. All the yelling and stuff is really getting her down. I cried for hours. It is so hard not being able to talk to her and encourage her immediately. That's the hardest part, knowing she's hurting and not being able to make it better. I just hope that it's gotten earsier for her since the early days. She did say she loves the other girls so maybe she knows your daughter.
